Cooperation between FTI Façade Testing Institute & UL Solutions on UKCA Mark

Great Britain is no longer part of the European market after left the EU. Construction product manufacturers will have to mark their products with the UKCA instead of the CE mark from 30 June 2025 in order to enter the market in the UK. If the product has no UKCA mark may cause problems with presence in UK market. Approved Bodies in the UK must be involved in carrying out the testing and calculations required for UKCA mark. As a Notified Body in EU with the number of NB-2547, FTI cooperates and collaborates with UL Laboratories-Approved Body in Great Britain. In this way, it provides convenience to manufacturers by providing UKCA mark to construction products.
